5x + 2y = 7
-5x + 4y = 5

You can immediately eliminate the x-terms and subtract:

  2y = 7
  4y = 5
-_____
-2y = 2
   y = -1

Substitute back to find x:

-5x + 4y = 5
5x + 4(-1) = 5
5x - 4 = 5
5x = 9
x = 1.8

Finally, substitute back to check your work:

5x + 2y = 7  =>  5(1.8) + 2(-1) = 7  =>  9 - 2 = 7  <--True
-5x + 4y = 5  =>  -5(1.8) + 4(-1) = 5  =>  -9 - 4 = 5  <--False

Answer:
There is no solution.

What is the formula to the area of a triangle?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

(Base x height) x 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We do this because a triangle is emulating a rectangle with Base x Height. However, a triangle's shape is less conventional than a standard square or rectangle, thus the division by 2.

Which of the following quantities are inversely proportional? WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 25 POINTS
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

I believe the answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse proportion occurs when one value increases and the other decreases

D is the answer because as each cat eats the same amount of dry cat food, there is less dry cat food in the bag; so this is why D best answers the question.

Hope this helps!
